We correct the Gaia EDR3 parallaxes in the same way done by [1]} for NGC 104 and [2]} for NGC 104 and NGC 362. We again use SMC field stars in the
direction of NGC 362 as reference, assuming a distance of \(D=62.1 \pm 1.9\)  kpc as distance to the SMC [3]}, [4]}. The resulting cluster parallax is \(\varpi =109.9 \pm 3.7 \mu as\) , corresponding to a
distance of \(9.10^{+0.32}_{-0.30}\)  kpc. This distance is in agreement with the earlier value of [2]} (\(D=8.54 \pm 0.48\)  kpc) as well as the
distance we derive from an averaging of literature values (\(8.80 \pm 0.11\)  kpc) and our own kinematic distance determinations (see Fig. REF ).
